Gregoria

Gregoria, 42, lives with her husband and has 3 children that depend on her. She lives in her own home and she has made her living selling tortillas for two years. Her clients prefer her because of the customer attention and clean kitchen.

Gregoria lives in the south of Honduras and is requesting HNL 10,000 to buy more corn, wood, and lime. She wants to have plenty of corn to store for a long time as it is in high demand.

With this loan, Gregoria will meet the financing needs for her business, increase her income, and improve her quality of life and that of her children.
